I'd only take Arroyo because Chavis' defense is so shaky. The offense is solid with or without Chavis. They just need to get the best defensive 2B they can find (unless they are going to surprise with Semien).
-
That's what happens when you have a garbage pen and return on 1 out of 5 starting pitchers from the prior year (Porcello and Price went bye bye, Sale and ERod were on IL). The offense is NOT the problem. -
I disagree on Chavis vs Arroyo. Chavis is a negative fWAR guy (bad glove and a huge hole in his swing). Arroyo is probably a 0.5 - 1.0 fWAR guy (adequate replacement).

@MLBBruceLevine Breaking news -Theo Epstein will join the commissioners office as a consultant regarding on field matters. MLB will announce today. Managers must wear gorilla suits going forward.

Barnes provided about the same value as Kimbrel did in 2018 and most people on here think he's dog s***. Dalbec provided almost the same value as Moreland in just over one month in 2020. Mookie's 10.4 fWAR is really the big difference maker.
-
I wouldn't bat Beni and Verdugo back to back because of LRLRL, but also Beni has been dreadful at the top of the lineup. Verdugo was good there so I'd keep him #1. I also don't see Chavis as the starting 2b. He's more likely to start in AAA.
-
Price fWAR 2018: 2.4 Moreland fWAR 2018: 0.7 Kimbrel fWAR 2018: 1.3 Betts is irreplaceable, but those other guys could be replaced without much effort at all.

@redsoxstats So far the Red Sox have been linked to 11 players for the international signing period that finally opens tomorrow. These three (Bleis CF, Lira C, Ravelo SS) seem to be the head of the class according to BA.
-
Why the ChiSox?
-
To think people used to get upset if the roster wasn't completed by Thanksgiving...
-
I agree. If they are in the hunt in September, but Sale is still not quite there, Sale must still be held back.
-
@MattRyCollins Red Sox reportedly among teams neogitating with Marcus Semien
-
SP: ERod Eovaldi Pivetta Houck Andriese

ERod Verdugo CF Xander SS Devers 3B JD DH Vazquez C Renfroe RF Dalbec 1B Beni LF Arroyo 2B
-
Some guys get healthier a little quicker, but my worry is that Sale is the type of guy who tries to rush back. I definitely go slow with him.
-
I wouldn't hate a Joc/Renfroe platoon. It's been in the back of my mind.
-
Unless they used the open roster spot to sign a decent LF like Ozuna.
-
Maybe Jenny's?
-
@alexspeier Corey Kluber threw his fourth bullpen of his rehab in Palm Beach Gardens, FL, earlier today, this one in front of scouts/evaluators from what one person present estimated at about 25 teams.
-
I disagree. My personal spending habits would certainly change if my budget increased significantly.
-
@middlebrooks I honestly think the Red Sox can bring back several familiar faces to fill holes in the roster. Porcello, Perez, Brockstar, JBJ, Mitchy Two Bags? How would the fan base feel about that? Well, we'd take just about anything at this point. Brock Holt would have to be a MiLB deal though.
-
Yup
-
They aren't planning that for this season.
-
Isn't Jiminez their LF?
-
I can't say I'm on board with your logic after only 1.5 offseasons.
